Sustainable House Day is a national event where people across Australia open their doors to share how their homes work – what they’ve built, what they’ve changed, and what they’ve learned.
In the City of Melbourne, the Two Sisters project in North Melbourne will be open for tours. This project is a collection of fourteen apartments and townhouses that embodies Breathe Architecture's thoughtful, sustainable and connected design.
At the heart of the project are two bespoke homes for the two sisters, a music studio and two additional apartments. To the rear of the site, a once gated and neglected lane has been returned to the public realm and landscaped, providing a space for residents and neighbours to gather. Sustainability underpins every design decision – an all-electric development, carbon-neutral brickwork, 40 per cent cement reduction in concrete and 9-star average NatHERS energy rating.
